Use Google Analytics Right From Your Desktop



Google analytics is the most widely used website analysis tools. Its simplicity and variety of features without any cost or limitation are the main reason behind its popularity.
Interesting thing is that now you can access data from google analytics through a variety of desktop applications. You no longer need to access it from the browser. The main benefits of using this application is that you have instant information about your website right from the desktop. You click the icon and you get everything, no hassle of putting email, password, no delay in loading the javascript and flash !
Polaris and Trakkboard are the two most popular desktop applications used by webmasters. I prefer Polaris than trakkboard because trakkboard only displays the number of visitors visited on your site. Whereas Polaris have every feature that are on google analytics like traffic sources, top content, map overlay, keyword etc. The data shown on the polaris are presented in an attractive way.

Both polaris and trakkboard requires Adobe air to be installed on your computer. You can find it here: Adobe Air
